Minnesota?

[luv_navi]

Any minnesotins here?

[Hikyuuri]

Yep.  I live in Minnesota.  South of Woodbury, if you know where that is.  South East of the Twin Cities area.

[Tanhìyärina']

I'm in Duluth.  (Just moved here last summer.)  The Cities aren't too far, but I work a lot and don't have much free time to go anywhere. 

[Kxliopì]

Minneapolis. Still very new, however. Kaltxì!

[I'en Olo'eyktan]

Minnesota doesn't seem very popular. Haha Rochester myself. Only one if my city trying to learn this stuff except for a couple friends.

[Lehrrap Txum]

Yah Minnesotan here. Just west of the Twin Cities

[Glyfire]

I am! Just a little west of the Twin cities.

[Lorey]

I'm pretty much in between the Twin Cities.

I'm at the very beginnings of my learning so if someone one would like to help me find a way to get started, that'd be awesome. I find learning a language while interacting with someone else is the easiest, so if that's the same for one of you, I'd love to meet up. Or even Skype is fine too!

[Tanhìyärina']

Welcome, Lorey!  Seems like there are a few people in the Twin Cities area so I hope you find someone to practice with!  There are some great resources on here too-- the Learn Na'vi Activity Book is great, and there are some audio lessons on here-- even some podcasts, I think, so you can at least listen to the language.

[Lorey]

Thanks Tanhìyärina'. I noticed those too and was planning on getting started with those right away.

It's too bad your up north while everyone here is in the cities 

[Tanhìyärina']

Yeah, it's only a 3 hour drive, but to make it both ways in a day is a bit tiring.

And [ya dere] hey, I saw your comment on the accents "up north" in the greeting thread.    Honestly, when I moved here, I expected to hear a stronger accent than I do.  It was a bit disappointing.  However, I think "up north" is always further north than where you are.  Just like "old" is always at least 10 years older than your age.

I didn't mean up north as in Duluth. I have a cabin near there so I've been up there since I was born. I meant more up north than that. Near the boundary waters and such.

hrh! 

I'm not originally from here, so when I moved here and someone asked me, "have you been up north?" I wanted to say, "this is up north!"

I haven't been to the boundary waters, but I hear they're beautiful.

[Lorey]

but it's true, the accent is worse as you go further north! and you're right, D town is up north, just not the 'north' that everyone means    I think it's a denial tactic hrh

edit: oh wait.. I just called myself in denial! hrh fail on my part.

[Aaraventi]

[jou]

I'm in Thunder Bay, ON. Within driving distance of Duluth. I go there regularily to shop.
